“Likewise, Fawcett Primary School was inspected in July and found to still be good.

“School leaders and teachers there have been instrumental in improving pupils’ attainment in reading and mathematics.

“Histon and Impington Infant School was inspected for the first time since becoming an academy and joining the Cambridge Primary Education Trust in December 2012.

“Inspectors found leaders here are ensuring that teaching, learning and assessment are good.”

Mr Cook pointed to the fact that leaders in these schools worked hard to challenge and support teachers, something he said made it more likely for pupils to achieve their potential across the curriculum.

The importance of achievement across the curriculum is something Mr Cook discussed when he met recently with chief executives from a number of multi-academy trusts across Cambridgeshire.

He also challenged schools to work with best practice schools in each Trust to continue to build standards.

Mr Cook’s advice comes after last year’s annual report saw Cambridgeshire rank in the country’s bottom 10 local authorities for the number of its ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ rated schools.

He added: “I’m now waiting expectantly for the official 2016 results for Cambridgeshire and all of the analysis and headlines that come with them.

“While I am cautiously optimistic about secondary school performance overall, I am concerned that there will be some questions that need to be asked about the performance of some individual schools.

“And finally, what about the grammar school debate? Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted’s chief inspector, has made his personal views known.

“My own response is that all children deserve to go to a good or better school, wherever they live.

“If a child comes from a disadvantaged background their school must ensure that they make good progress, achieve to the best of their ability and aspire to go on to do great things.”
